First in, last out.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the motto of Western
Canadian troops since the day they
first stepped foot on Afghanistan
soil in 2002.
On Tuesday, the final group
of roughly 26 Canadian Armed
Forces members landed at the
Shell AeroCentre at the Edmonton
International Airport, signalling the
end of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military mission in
Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where 158 soldiers
paid the ultimate price.
For Lauren Lawrence, the day
marks the first time when her
husband Jeremy, a master corporal
with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military police, can
see his seven-month old daughter for
the first time.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been showing him pictures
of her and stuff like that, and I think
she recognizes him,â&#x20AC;? said Lawrence,
who also has a two-year-old
daughter with her husband.
Jeremy was doing his first term in
Afghanistan, lasting nine months.
When the big bay doors at
the Lecture Training Facility at
the Edmonton Garrison opened

Tuesday evening, the family from
Wainwright was finally able to have
a proper reunion.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good,â&#x20AC;? said Jeremy.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for a long time to
see her and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to get
to know her.â&#x20AC;?
Luckily for the Lawrences, troops
were able to chat with their families
back home via Skype.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things that are
different now compared to the first
group of guys that went over,â&#x20AC;? said
Jeremy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were lucky enough to
have some Internet and a lot better

communications with our families
back home, so I was able to to talk
to these guys quite a bit and keep in
touch that way.â&#x20AC;?
For Lauren, the thought of having
Jeremy home for good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without
the looming threat of another redeployment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; means the world.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very relieving because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
been difficult. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kinda hoping this
will be it and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do this
again.â&#x20AC;?
In total, Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redeployment
flight saw 84 CAF members reunited
with their families, with stops in

Ottawa and Brandon, Man., before
landing in Edmonton at 6:30 p.m.
Edmonton mayor Don Iveson was
on hand at the Shell AeroCentre,
welcoming home troops before they
piled onto a bus and were escorted
by police to the Garrison.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our city has a proud military
history,â&#x20AC;? Iveson said in a press
release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way for us to
recognize the contributions of men
and women of the Canadian Armed
Forces and their families, and to
thank them for their commitment
toward peace, security and stability
in what has been a very volatile part
of the world.â&#x20AC;?
Off-duty members of the
Edmonton Fire Rescue Service and
St. Albert Fire Services set up camp
at overpasses along the Anthony
Henday Drive, showing their
support by waving Canadian flags as
the troopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bus went by.
Canada will continue to
financially support the Afghan
military with $110 million a year
over the next three years. The
Afghan National Security Forces
(ANSF) is currently planning
security details for their upcoming
democratic election on April 5.

At the end of March, there will
be more curling action going on in
St. Albert than you can shake a stick at.
From March 30 to April 2, the St.
Albert Curling Club is playing host
to the Canadian Open Stick Curling
Championship, bringing together 48
teams from coast to coast to compete for
the national title.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you asked any of the volunteers
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there are 38 of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
as excited as Bob and I,â&#x20AC;? said Milt
McDougall, who has been spearheading
the organization of the tournament
along with his curling teammate Bob
McKenzie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to
host it. And the City (of St. Albert) has
helped us. People have come forward 10
times better than I expected. ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure
anyone who comes to watch will enjoy
it.â&#x20AC;?
Organizing the tournament has
taken up much of McDougallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for
the past two years. He and McKenzie
competed in the tournament in Regina
in 2012, where the idea of hosting was
first hatched, and made a trip to Prince
Edward Island last year to observe and
learn.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked to the (St. Albert Curling
Club) and the 50+ Club, and they gave
us the green light,â&#x20AC;? he said.
He added there were no qualms about
hosting the tournament in a curling club
the size of St. Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the same size as what Regina
had, with the same number of teams, so
weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following their format,â&#x20AC;? he said.
While stick curlers can play on
regular curling teams under regular
rules, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strictly sticks out on the
ice, the rules are a little different. Stick
curling teams are made up of only two

players, and only one from each team
delivers just six rocks per end while the
other skips. The roles alternate each end.
Stones cannot be removed from play
at all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether they are in the house
or not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until the fourth stone of each
end. Sweeping is only allowed from the
hog line to the back of the house at the
playing end. Each game is six ends long.
After curling for most of his life,
McDougall made the switch to stick
curling six or seven years ago. But the
transition has been very smooth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he
and McKenzie recently won the 2014
Alberta championship.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had enough rheumatism in my one
knee that I was walking with a cane.
And if I got down in the hack, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
get back up,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tricky, especially with draw
shots,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My partner and I have

our draws are as good as anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In
provincials, our draws won us almost all
the games that we won. All our scores
will tell you, because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one
game won by more than one point.â&#x20AC;?
Stick curling has proven popular with
others in St. Albert, too. McDougall said
there were 30 to 40 curlers using sticks
in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior leagues, so they
decided to get a stick-only league going
about four years ago. That league has
been very active ever since.
Across the province, McDougall said
that teams from southern Alberta are
always strong, but northern Alberta is
catching up.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many of us that are
seniors who have bad knees, a bit of
rheumatism, bad backs and whatnot
that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver from the hack
anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just keeps them
out there and enjoying a great pastime.â&#x20AC;?

St. Albert is out of the running for the title
of Kraft Hockeyville, but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
mayor is taking the loss in stride.
The city was one of the final 16
municipalities across Canada for
the contest put on by Kraft, the
CBC and the National Hockey
League, but on Saturday it
was revealed during the Hockey Night
in Canada broadcast that St. Albert had not
received enough votes to move on to the final
four.
Mayor Nolan Crouse said he was a little
disappointed, but had high praise for the
community volunteers who put St. Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
name forward.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look back at it, you might find a way
to use it as a community building event ... We
probably could have done more, but it was
(announced) on a Saturday night and (voting)
was done Monday, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty hard
to react too quickly,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But
the people who were getting the
names in, getting the vote out
and the word out did a good job.â&#x20AC;?
Salmon Arm, B.C., and Sylvan
Lake, Alta., qualified for the semifinal
round out of Western Canada, while
Kingston, N.S., and Bedeque, Que., moved on
out of Eastern Canada.
The winner of the Kraft Hockeyville
contest will get $100,000 in upgrades to a
local arena and the chance to host an NHL
preseason game, along with a visit from CBC.
St. Albert did get a consolation prize,

though, in the form of $25,000 in arena
upgrades, which has been earmarked for the
Akinsdale and Kinex arenas on Hebert Road.
Crouse has talked briefly with St. Albert
Minor Hockey Association officials about
how that money could best be spent, but there
are few details right now.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably use it to match up some
community capital and see if they can
leverage it with some provincial money,â&#x20AC;?
Crouse said.
While the sting of defeat is still fresh, the
mayor is eager to take another run at the
Hockeyville title in the future.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think, if you do it, you have to get serious
and really go at it hard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not
being a sore loser; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it, you
have to reach the spokes of your wheel out
and really go at it from all kinds of angles.â&#x20AC;?

St. Albert’s local roller derby
club is getting ready to crash and
bang their way into another new
season.
The St. Albert Heavenly Rollers
(STAHR) open up their 2014
campaign on Saturday, March
22, at the TransAlta Tri Leisure
Centre in Spruce Grove as their
Arch Angels travel team hosts the
Lakeland Ladykillers from Cold
Lake, with first whistle at 7 p.m.
“Oh my gosh, we’re so excited
to get going,” said STAHR vicepresident Celeste Thiesen, better
known on the track as “Petra
Phi.” “We stopped briefly in
December for Christmas and got
back to practicing in January,
so we’ve been practicing quite
a while, and we’d really like to
get back on the track and put
everything into action.”
The opener is the only time
STAHR will play outside
St. Albert this season, as the
Spruce Grove facility was able to
remove turf from one of its fields
earlier than Servus Credit Union
Place could. The rest of the team’s
games are scheduled to take place

in the Tudor Glen Veterinary
Hospital fieldhouse at Servus
Place.
“(Servus Place) is our home,
and we truly love them,” Thiesen
said.
But she also pointed out that
many of STAHR’s players actually
hail from Spruce Grove, and
the team is excited to possibly
convert some new fans to the
sport.
“They are beyond excited to
take it out to their hometown. It’ll
be interesting to see how Spruce
Grove receives it,” she said.
While the opening game of the
season is exciting, perhaps more
exciting is STAHR’s news from
the offseason, when they gained
apprentice league status with
the Women’s Flat Track Derby
Association.
“It’s basically like joining the
NHL for roller derby,” Thiesen
said. “This is a massive milestone.
Every year up until this point
has seen steps put in place to
get to this point, so we’re pretty
excited to get going with that
and take roller derby
in St. Albert to a
whole other
level.”

The WTFDA establishes
standardized rules for roller
derby leagues all over the world,
and holds tournaments every
year.
This is the fourth season that
the Heavenly Rollers have taken
to the track in St. Albert, and
Thiesen said that the group’s
membership continues to be very
strong.
“We had some attrition this
past year because it is quite a
commitment, especially now
belonging to the WFTDA ... it
means a lot more fundraising and
efforts outside gameplay to really
make this a success,” Thiesen
said, noting that STAHR hopes to
play games in the United States
this year and in Europe next year.
“However, what we have lost in
players, we are quickly gaining
back with new recruitment
nights. It’s an ebb and flow; it’s
just the way of roller derby.”
Tickets for STAHR’s season
opener are $10 in advance or
$15 at the door. Advance tickets
can be purchased through the
team’s website at www.
stahrderby.com.

The City of St. Albert is once again
encouraging residents to go dark to help the
environment.
The City is getting ready to mark the 2014
edition of Earth Hour, which runs from 8:30
to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 29. During

that time, residents are being asked to turn
off their lights to help reduce environmental
impact and raise awareness about protecting
our planet.
“Earth Hour provides the opportunity for
all residents to get involved with one small
action,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press
release. “Turning off non-essential lights for
just one hour can make a big difference in

reducing emissions. It’s important that we see
how our actions can help contribute to make
St. Albert a healthier, greener community for
future generations.”
Earth Hour was started by the World
Wildlife Fund in Australia in 2007, and
Canadian cities, including St. Albert, got in
on the act the following year.
During Earth Hour in 2013, FortisAlberta

reported that St. Albert saw a reduction in
power consumption of 3.1 per cent compared
to the same week the week prior. That would
be enough energy to power 2,140 average
households in the city for a period of one
hour.
For more information on Earth Hour and
for suggestions of activities and events to run
during that time, visit www.earthhour.org.

because they are not as evident at first glance.

has closed a number of Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Affairs
offices, while other ex-soldiers find themselves
fighting new battles to get the benefits and

Veterans in this country deserve better
treatment than that. If we as Canadian citizens
truly support our military personnel, then now
is the time to demonstrate that support more
than ever.

CĂŠdric Boucher is a Grade 5
student in the French immersion
program at Muriel Martin
Elementary School in the Deer
Ridge subdivision, and recently
took first place in the regional
DictĂŠe Paul GĂŠrin-Lajoie, a
spelling competition for French
immersion and francophone
students, in Falher, Alta.
Boucherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win means he will
have the chance to travel to
Montreal for the international
finals on May 11.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited, I think,â&#x20AC;?
said Boucher, 10, noting that
he studied â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost every dayâ&#x20AC;?
heading into the regional
competition, and likely will do the
same leading up to Montreal.
Nearly 178,000 students from
Canada and parts of the United

States competed in La DictĂŠe
P.G.L. in 2013, along with some
170,000 students in Frenchspeaking African countries like
Senegal, Mali and the Republic of
Guinea.
For Monique Waters, the
French immersion co-ordinator
at Muriel Martin, having Boucher
earn a place in the finals is a
great opportunity for the French
community in Alberta to show
what it can do.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;French is actually growing
quicker out west than it is in
other parts of Canada; French
immersion is growing by leaps
and bounds,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
exciting to go to the French centre
of our country and showcase
what we are learning, what we are
doing, and that we can compete.â&#x20AC;?
But even more important is
what Boucherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualification
says about the quality of French
language instruction at Muriel
Martin.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting. I think it
validates our French immersion

program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says a lot
about our French community as
it continues to grow out west, and
how much it has grown. CĂŠdricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
done fantastic; I had the pleasure
of teaching him last year, and he
did extremely well last year in
Grade 4 at DictĂŠe P.G.L. as well.â&#x20AC;?
A dictĂŠe is not like a traditional
spelling bee, as it puts more
emphasis on writing. A paragraph
of text is read out for students
twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first time at normal
speed and the second time slower
so students have a chance to
write down what is said. The
paragraphs are then turned in and
marked for accuracy compared to
the original text.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a paragraph for the
people in immersion, an easy one.
And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harder one
for the (francophone students),â&#x20AC;?
Boucher said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then they make you write
three sentences after, just so if
thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tie, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll correct those
ones to see who wins.â&#x20AC;?
The regional dictĂŠe was a bit

nerve-racking for Boucher, but he
settled down quickly.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the beginning, I was really
nervous. But then I started
talking to the other kids, and
when it started, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nervous
anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said.
In fact, he added, the toughest
part didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until the end.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was when I was

finished writing, when it was
being corrected and I was
thinking about whether I was
going to win or not,â&#x20AC;? he said.
The exact details of the
international finals for La DictĂŠe
P.G.L. have not been provided just

Hockey is hitting the road again
this May in St. Albert.
After a successful first year,
the Road Rage Street Hockey
Tournament is coming back for
2014, with young pucksters taking
over the south parking lot at
Servus Credit Union Place on May
24 and 25.
Former National Hockey
League player Rob Brown is
once again part of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
organizing committee. He said the
tournament went â&#x20AC;&#x153;better than we
could have imaginedâ&#x20AC;? in 2013, and
so both he and his kids are raring
to go again this year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son has been talking for the
past month or so already about it,
about getting his friends involved
and trying to pick his team, pick
his team name and anything,â&#x20AC;?
Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I see him being
excited about it, that just makes it
doubly exciting for us.â&#x20AC;?
Last year, more than 30
teams signed up to play in the
tournament. But, based on
registrations so far, Brown is

confident theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll surpass that goal
this year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over 30 already,
which I think is double what we
had at this time last year,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we ended up last year at 36
teams, so it looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to
be quite a bit bigger than last year.â&#x20AC;?

Teams in the 3-on-3 tournament
are made up of six players and
a goalie between the ages of six
and 14. Each team is guaranteed
a minimum of three games over
the two-day tournament. The
registration fees remain the same
as last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $280 per team,
or $40 per child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and include
T-shirts, water bottles and other
goodies.

Also back for another year
are almost all the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
sponsors, including Go Auto, 92.5
Fresh FM, Coca-Cola, Canadian
Arena Products, the St. Albert
Leader and St. Albert Source for
Sports.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign for us, that
they liked what they saw,â&#x20AC;? Brown
said.
The tournament is the same
weekend as the annual Rainmaker
Rodeo and Exhibition, but Brown
said that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see much
conflict between the two events
last year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to do both if they
want to do both,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they
want to go to the carnival, they
can go to the carnival; they know
what their schedule is to come to
our (event). I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I talked to
anyone who said it was bad timing.
We talked to more people who
said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What a cool weekend this is.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got so many things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve
got planned to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If anything, it
just makes it a super weekend in
St. Albert.â&#x20AC;?

The St. Albert Public Library
presented a study to council, with
various options to address the
libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urgent space needs. Options
include adding onto St. Albert Place,
building a free-standing branch
library, constructing a new central
library and various leasing options.

Prior to 2014, this program was
administered by the Alberta
government. The City will now have
to administer the program. Council
would have to amend policy to
prevent eligible senior homeowners
from receiving both the provincial
and City tax assistance programs.

Coun. Sheena Hughes moved to have
the $22,000 used to place artwork on
the grit interceptor near Perron Street
placed back into the Utility Reserves
from the Art Acquisition fund and
that funds for such future artwork
come from the Art Acquisition fund,
not Utility Reserves.

Eligible senior homeowners
can now apply to receive
both the $100 City tax
credit and the provincial
tax deferral.

The amendments allow for the
creation of the public committee
with revised Terms of Reference to
deal with potential conflict of interest
scenarios and for Administration to
continue its research for civic space
needs with input from stakeholders
and the public committee.

Staff recommended council rescind
part of a previously approved motion
to establish a public committee on
civic space needs. If successful, it
would prevent the creation of such a
committee due to potential concerns
of conflict of interest by committee
members.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m super excited! But a deal on the show
doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean a deal. I was
fortunate enough that, before the show
aired, we were able to come to an agreement
and make a deal. So as far as due diligence
and that process, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long process, but
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always aware where you are. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m
super happy where it is right now.

She had already built a plan out in her
head, and I understood the plan. ... I was
familiar with where she was going with it,
and I personally feel thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best avenue
for the product and for the brand. And
compared to Bruce (Croxon, who offered
$200,000 for 50 per cent of the company),
if I had gone with him, it would have
turned out to be a licensing deal with the
distributor who deals with Weber and
Broil King. So the deals were identical;
the difference was equity versus no equity.
I really respect Arlene, and I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
taken on projects like infomercial products
and been successful with them. I think
the FlavorFork, outside of anything, has a
really strong brand and will stand alone.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything that really
surprised me. It seemed like it
was a pretty good edit to what I
remember of it. Now, this was a
year ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was April 3 that I
went there, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 days short of
a year, almost. But it flowed very
closely to what I remember.

I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna learn a lot
in the next 12 months.

Even before Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den was even an option, I was taking business classes
from them, some coaching classes, to really understand my business,
understand my product, where it was positioned and who my market was
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of those details you should probably do before you get as far as I was,
which is in the market already. And then specifically for the Den, when
I decided I was going, I went and did my initial audition, I did it without
asking (NABI) for help ... with my 60-second elevator pitch. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
capture them in the first 60 seconds, you might as well turn around and
walk out of the show. I kind of got it, but when I was there, I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes,
this is what it is.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That beginning part, that was my complete pitch. ... (NABI)
really helped me dial that in and focus on it and figure out what it was.

The next step for me is to continue thinking
about the business and the idea. As you heard
on the show, I have some ideas, some other
product lines that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to possibly consider. I
also want to play out this summer and see what
happens (with FlavorFork). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big push to
get into the U.S. and see what it does, which is
another huge component of the business plan;
thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flavorâ&#x20AC;? is spelled with no U. ... How
fast can you ramp up something like this? How
quickly is it going to be accepted? What kind of
dollars are going to be put behind it? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going
to be working with (Venture Communications)
on finding out what the plan is, executing the
plan and going from there. ... I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna
learn a lot in the next 12 months [laughs].

A group of young environmentalists
from Leo Nickerson Elementary School
are taking to the stage to spread their
message.
Three Grade 6 classes from the school
are busy putting the final touches on their
original play Our World, Our Future,
which hits the stage for two shows at the
Arden Theatre on Thursday, March 27.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never too young or too small
to make a difference in the world,â&#x20AC;? said
Nickerson drama teacher Kerry McPhailHayden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think these kids will make a
difference.â&#x20AC;?
The environmental theme was one that
the students at Nickerson felt very strongly
about.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing to teach other people
about, because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wreck our
city with all the stuff weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? said
student Sarah Hay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure
everybody knows about the stuff theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
doing and make sure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wreck the
city.â&#x20AC;?
Jordyn Bland plays one of the main
characters in the play, the girl who â&#x20AC;&#x153;likes
money and loves to go shopping but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
that much into the environment,â&#x20AC;? as she
describes it.
Over the course of the play, though, her
character comes around and realizes the
importance of protecting the environment.
She said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been â&#x20AC;&#x153;really funâ&#x20AC;? to put the
play together, but a lot of work writing and
rehearsing it.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the days that (McPhail-Hayden)
is here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we do it during lunch and
during second recess,â&#x20AC;? she said.
McPhail-Hayden said the idea for the
play started when she was talking with one
of her students about urban sprawl taking
over wildlife habitats.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids have such a heart for the
environment. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be cool if they
could share it with younger kids and with
the community?â&#x20AC;? she asked.
The play was made possible thanks to an
environmental initiatives grant from the
City of St. Albert, and McPhail-Hayden
said it was very encouraging to have that
kind of support.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are going to see it, and who
knows who itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to inspire?â&#x20AC;? she said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;But even my sharing it, even by starting
now as kids to think about these kids, they
are making a difference.â&#x20AC;?

Not only does the play tackle
environmental issues, but it is also a great
way to pull together lessons students have
learned over the three years that drama is
offered at Nickerson.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scene thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mime, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
mime allusion, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gibberish scene
where they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually speak English
... all these different dramatic forms that
they get to play with in drama,â&#x20AC;? she said,
adding that there are also a couple of
musical numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we can put
60-plus kids in one play.â&#x20AC;?
The play has really only been in the

works since January, after the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Christmas play wrapped up and students
were back at school. Parents have helped
a whole bunch, though, with things like
building and painting set elements and
making costumes.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parent community here is just
amazing,â&#x20AC;? McPhail-Hayden said.
Our World, Our Future takes the stage
at the Arden Theatre at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m.
on Thursday, March 27. Admission is free,
but donations will be accepted for Trout
Unlimited Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yellow Fish Road
program.

Singers of all ages in St. Albert are
looking to hit the right notes as a
prestigious local competition returns for
another year.
The finals of the St. Albert Idol
competition are coming back once again
to the St. Albert and District Chamber of
Commerce’s Spring Lifestyle Expo and
Sale, taking place April 4 to 6 at Servus
Credit Union Place.
“There’s a lot of talent in St. Albert, and
there’s a lot of talent that comes out for this
event. It’s great,” said Martha Livingstone,
co-owner and voice coach at Visionary
College in St. Albert, which puts on the
competition each year.
Qualifying events have been taking
place for the past couple of weeks now,
and they will continue until the expo,
including at O’Maille’s Irish Pub for singers
18 and older on Thursday nights and open
auditions this Saturday at the Visionary
College location on St. Albert Trail.
Livingstone said that she has had quite a
few video entries emailed to her this year
as well.
Prizes vary depending on the age group,
but all told they add up to about $2,000.
Livingstone said she loves seeing young

experience under their belts at St. Albert
Idol.
“This kind of opportunity is a great
opportunity for them to get some stage
experience. If they’ve had a little or even if
they’ve had a lot, this kind of environment
really helps them to grow as performers,
whether or not they win,” she said.

and when it’s needed. And we’re
saving for future generations.

This season’s superhero style
tip: black is the new red, white and
blue.
“They keep working on it,
and it’s supposed to get more
comfortable, but it always feels
like it gets tighter,” Chris Evans
says of the new, sleek, covert-opsstyle outfit he wears in Captain
America: The Winter Soldier.
“Of course, once you get a good
sweat under it, it makes for a better
fit. You know you’re going to have
to live in it for four or five months.”
Friends — and at least one foe
— of the First Avenger assembled
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel
last week to promote the Jason
Bourne-ish Winter Soldier. Among
them: Samuel L. Jackson (Nick
Fury), Scarlett Johansson (Black
Widow), Anthony Mackie (Cap’s
new sidekick Falcon), Sebastian
Stan (the Winter Soldier of the
title, who played Cap’s old sidekick
Bucky Berger in the first movie)
and Disney/Marvel producer
Kevin Feige.
Winter Soldier is a “trust no
one” epic, with car chases, mass
destruction, misuse of mass
surveillance, and a civil war within
the super-secret organization
S.H.I.E.L.D. — brought to you by
Anthony and Joe Russo, directors

of, um, TV’s Arrested Development.
“The key to making these
movies different each time is to
be able to move pieces around
on the playing board and subvert
expectations — to make the world
different at the beginning of
Avengers 2 than it was at the end
of Avengers 1,” Feige said of the
plot, which pretty much flips the
S.H.I.E.L.D. gameboard over.
“When we met with Joe and
Anthony, they were very clear and
had very lofty ambitions. They
were like, we want to make the best
car chase of any Marvel movie,
and maybe the best car chase of all
time.’
“And I said, ‘Well, that sounds
good,’” Feige added with a laugh.
In the brothers’ defence, Joe
Russo added, “The process isn’t
very different. You still go to set.
You still direct actors. You have
a crew, and an infrastructure
at Marvel that is different from
anywhere else in the world, full of
talented and intelligent people to
get your vision across.
“Comedy isn’t very different
from action, it requires
choreography. So if you’re filming
a (comedy) bit, the choreography
and timing isn’t very different
from stuntwork or a fight scene.
It’s all a dance.”
Meanwhile, Winter Soldier
marks the most screen-time

yet for Johansson’s Natasha
Romanoff, a.k.a Black Widow.
Feige confirmed there are several
treatments for a Black Widow
movie on the Marvel drawing
board, and that her role in the
upcoming Avengers: Age Of Ultron
will be pivotal.
For her part, Johansson said
her recent role of Maggie in
Broadway’s Cat On A Hot Tin
Roof was “the most physically
challenging thing you can do. I
felt in pretty solid shape after that
run.” For the rest of her regimen,
she said, “you train like a dude and
eat a bunch of lettuce.”
And then there’s the newest
professional relationship revealed
in Winter Soldier, between Nick
Fury and his mentor Alexander
Pierce (Robert Redford),
S.H.I.E.L.D.’s liaison to the World
Security Council.
“I met Robert in a lot of
situations when I was going to
Sundance when I was a young
actor,” Jackson said. “And that
first morning (of shooting), we
sat down and talked about a lot of
different things. We talked about
life, we talked about golf, we talked
about movies.
“So by the time we got on set, it
looked like we had some past in
some darker, more medieval state
of counter-insurgency. And it was
a great experience.”

You know that post-apocalyptic movie about
an empowered young woman who fights her
way to freedom? You know, the one taken from
a best-selling trilogy of books for young adults.
No, not The Hunger Games, the other one.
It speaks to the parallels betweeen the two
projects, that the filmmakers of Divergent will
only refer coyly to “that other movie.”
One who doesn’t shy away from it is
Shailene Woodley, who plays the heroine Tris,
a conflicted rebel in a future Chicago where
people have assigned roles in life, and to
multitask is to court execution.
Given that the book series by Veronica Roth
has sold five million copies, and Woodley has
a three-movie contract, she contacted the only
person in the world who’d understand what
she faces — Jennifer Lawrence.
“We had one conversation. I still have yet
to meet Jen, which is kind of funny because
I’m talking about her so much right now,” the
outspoken and eccentric Woodley told the
press last week.

“But yeah, I sent her an e-mail because I was
curious, y’know?
“She’d gone from doing indie films to doing
Hunger Games, which is a giant film obviously.
And I wondered if it had changed her life
in positive ways, if she was happy with her
decision. Because I had zero reference.”
Her advice? “She said, ‘Don’t do anything
stupid, don’t do drugs, and don’t make a sex
tape. And don’t go to Whole Foods the day
the movie opens, and other than that you’ll be
fine.’”
The tale of the tape might suggest JLaw
might be better able to handle herself as a
post-apocalyptic warrior than the physicallyslighter Woodley (who first grabbed attention
as George Clooney’s daughter in The
Descendants).
But Woodley is unusual. Her hobbies
include survivalism — literally being dropped
in the forest with only a hatchet and a gun
and left to fend for herself. “I started studying
indigenous cultures a few years ago. I’m
really inspired by their lifestyles and how
they lived. And part of that was knowing how
they survived in the wild and how to heal

themselves from the plants that grew around
them.”
Of late, she’s been studying urban
survivalism. “I realized, ‘Cool, I know how
to make fire from sticks and I know how to
make shelter, but I live 90 per cent of my life
in an urban environment.’ Especially with
the draught in California right now and the
resources we’re depleting so quickly, I thought
it would be an interesting skill-set to have.”
So she’s perfect for the world of Divergent,
set 100 years after “the war.” But she also
found personal connections to Tris, a girl born
to a family of Abnegation (a selfless faction,
dedicated to political life and society), but who
longs to belong to the more exciting Dauntless,
the soldiers, who live reckless lives of martial
training (meanwhile, Jeanine, played by Kate
Winslet, and the brainiacs of Erudite quietly
covet power).
“A lot of Tris has resonated with me,
because when I was her age, maybe 17 or 18,
I was going through a similar struggle. I was
raised by two psychologists who are the most
beautiful, selfless people. So compassion and
empathy are engrained into my system.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty weird that everywhere I go, people
tell me how good I look,â&#x20AC;? says Canadian comedyscene legend Mike MacDonald.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;First time in my life, really. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to diet
or do any kind of exercises. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a program I
wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend to anybody.â&#x20AC;?
The veteran of three decades of Just For
Laughs galas and umpteen comedy specials is in
Toronto for two reasons, one good and one vitally
necessary.
The good: The deadpan comic, one of the
founding performers of the Yuk Yukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chain, is

booked for two indie club shows this weekend,
Saturday at the East End Comedy Revue at the
Dominion On Queen, and Sunday a few blocks
away at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannabis friendlyâ&#x20AC;? comedy venue
Underground.
As the old line goes, MacDonald is not only
happy to be here, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to be anywhere.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost exactly a year since MacDonald
received a liver transplant in Toronto following a
brink-of-death bout with Hepatitis C that saw him
move home to Ottawa from Los Angeles for care,
and a fundraising drive by the Canadian comedy
community that attracted media attention.
But he has indeed rebounded big-time,
performing 100 shows since his first post-

operative set in August.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, people ask if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on tour,â&#x20AC;?
MacDonald says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lady Gaga tours. I show
up at places.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career has been tryingly bumpy,
with lifestyle shocks that have fed his comedy â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
drug addiction in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s, a diagnosis of bipolar
disorder and now transplant patient.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weirdest moment was about a month
into my recovery,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was still
in the hospital and I left my hospital TV on. And
there in the middle of the night was me on Just
For Laughs, like, 10 years ago. It was like me
looking at me looking at me. And then I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
remember a word of what I was saying.â&#x20AC;?

Spring is ready to blossom in
St. Albert, and so is one of the
city’s biggest spring traditions.
The St. Albert Lifestyle Expo
and Sale, hosted by the St. Albert
and District Chamber of
Commerce, will once again take
over Servus Credit Union Place
from April 4 to 6, with close to
200 exhibitors showing off their
latest and greatest offerings.
“Things are shaping up really
well,” said Chamber president and
CEO Lynda Moffat.
So far, Moffat said the Chamber
is seeing brisk booth sales, and
they are already close to capacity.
“I think our exhibitors are
certainly responding to the
excellent turnout we had last year
at the expo,” she said. “And we’re
looking forward to the same thing
again this year for them.”
This year, the Chamber is
adding a “Taste of St. Albert”
event to the expo, inviting local
restaurants to give patrons a little
sample of what they have to offer.
“That’s something new that
we’re very excited about,” Moffat
said, noting that this would
somewhat replace the usual
food court the show has had in

previous years. “We’re thinking
that this will be our first year, but
we’ll grow that to be a bigger part
of the show in future years. The
space we had set aside filled up so
fast, and I think people will love
it.”

But there will be plenty of old
favourites back again this year,
including the St. Albert Idol
singing competition and the
petting zoo.
“Idol is such a huge part of the
show,” Moffat said, “and I think
the raceway is going to become
that too. ... We couldn’t have our
trade show without the petting
zoo. It’s gearing up to be an
awesome show.”
Moffat added that the expo is a
great opportunity for businesses
to get in front of thousands of
potential customers in a short
period of time.
“If your marketplace is
St. Albert and northern Alberta,
the greater St. Albert region ...
it’s a wonderful opportunity for
businesses to showcase their
products and services, because
you’ve got so many people,” she
said. “And for the people coming
to the show, it gives them a
chance to find suppliers for things
they may have been looking
for. If you’re there, you’re right
in front of their faces as they’re
walking by. I think it’s incredibly
important.”

JLED<;@8E<NJJ<IM@:<JÆThe ratio of
Canadian household debt to income in
the fourth quarter of 2013 slipped from
a record high while net worth rose,
bolstering the Bank of Canada’s belief
that the housing market is in for a soft
landing.
The central bank and the
Conservative government have long
fretted that near record low interest
rates might prompt people to take on
too much debt, especially big mortgages
that could increase the chances of a
housing crash.
Statistics Canada said the ratio of
household debt to income in the fourth
quarter of 2013 slipped to 164.0 per
cent from a record 164.2 per cent in the
third quarter.
Last week, the Bank of Canada said
